The profits, Mason! What do they mean?

If you played the Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War beta recently, you probably noticed that everyone treated the multiplayer as if the stages were coated in Vaseline. Sliding around in a manner that would embarrass even Vanquish, Cold War players exploited the action to get a leg up on the opposition.

This year's take on Zombies is going to properly unify it with the rest of the Call of Duty modes on offer.

While we knew that zombies were making a return to Black Ops: Cold War, we should get to see a decent chunk of fleshy gameplay this Wednesday.

Long distance killers absolutely dominated at close range in the alpha, with many a player complaining about the quick-scoping bastards running around the maps in OP glory.

So what’s the multiplayer looking like? A 1980s highlight reel of Cold War locations, with redesigned scorestreaks, more realistic movement and loud guns.

Having said that, when I first watched that reveal trailer I was totally fooled so at least his replacement is doing a pretty decent job.

Supposedly pulling from real-life events (like the Cold War, I guess) the trailer doesn’t go into gameplay but I’m sure we’re all at a stage where you know what to expect.
